The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 207 The world is booming
The leader waved as he came to his seat and sat down.

When he sat down, he specially nodded to Mr. Qian and Zhang Zhipeng sitting on his left and right sides.

As the chairman of this conference, Zhang Zhipeng also served as the host.

Look what time is coming.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded to the leader with a smile and asked softly: "Leader, let's start now?"

The leader nodded, smiled and said, "Follow the process."

"You make the decision in this meeting, don't ask me for instructions."

By the way, this is the first time Zhang Zhipeng has hosted such a large meeting. All the country’s scientific and technological elites are here.

He was really a little nervous at the moment.

He took a deep breath, spoke into the microphone, and announced in a soothing and solemn voice: "Now I declare that this National Science and Technology Workers Conference is officially opened!"

"The first item of the conference, everyone please stand up! Play the national anthem!"

All the attendees stood up.

Zhang Zhipeng saw that the leader went to give Mr. Qian a considerate hand.

The solemn, majestic and passionate national anthem sounded.

Zhang Zhipeng sang silently in his heart while recalling his extraordinary journey since crossing over. He thought: I am worthy of this great era.

After the national anthem was played, many people had tears shining in their eyes.

Zhang Zhipeng announced: "After the ceremony, everyone please take a seat!"

All participants were seated.

The second step is the leader’s speech.

The leader's speech first expressed his heartfelt thanks to all the scientific and technological personnel and congratulated him on the successful convening of this conference.

He looked back with emotion on the extraordinary journey that the Chinese people have gone through in the past eight years or so.

He used a set of figures to show the rapid development of this great country.

He said: "Comrades, in 1990, our GDP was 3945.66 billion, ranking 11th in the world!"

"The per capita GDP is only US$347.58! Ranking around 160th in the world, our per capita GDP is even lower than most countries in Africa!"

"In 1997, our annual GDP had reached 3.13 trillion, ranking third in the world!"

"In the past few years, our average annual GDP growth rate has reached more than 27%!"

"Our per capita GDP has also increased to more than 2900 US dollars!"

"In eight years, our per capita GDP has increased more than nine times!"

“We have gone from being the poorest country in the world to a prosperous country that is infinitely close to being well-off!”

"This is a great achievement!"

"In the long history of human society, no country has ever created such a miracle!"

"Here, what I want to tell comrades is that our economic development is still at a stage of rapid advancement!"

“The annual growth rate of our economy is still over 20 percent!”

"At the current development rate, in three to four years at most, we will become the world's second-largest GDP!"

"Even if our development speed slows down after entering the new millennium, we are still expected to catch up with America within fifteen years!"

The leader's speech was sonorous and powerful, making everyone's blood boil.

When he talked about surpassing America, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

If it was said in 1990 that we would catch up with the Eagles, no one would believe it. Not only would no one believe it, but many would even laugh at it for not overestimating one's capabilities.

However, in the past eight years, China has created too many miracles.

Countless unattainable industries are occupied by Chinese companies.

Countless expensive foreign products have to lower their heads due to competition from domestic products.

Eight years ago, China's GDP was less than one-ninth of its size.

But what now? We are almost catching up with them.

The hard-working and brave Chinese people do not believe in evil. We can just forge ahead, move forward bravely, and dare to change the sun and moon to a new sky!

Everyone was excited.

Who doesn’t want his country to develop better?
Who doesn’t want his motherland to be at the top of the world?

There may be a small group of spiritual Americans who are delusional and want to hold back.

But Er Cao's body and name are both destroyed, and the rivers will not flow forever!
The world's trend is so vast that it cannot be stopped by a few overestimating mantises.

The applause lasted for a long time, and the leader smiled and applauded with everyone.

It can be seen that the leader is in a great mood.

When the applause subsided, the leader smiled and continued: "Comrades! The reason why we have achieved such a huge success is that everyone here has made a huge contribution!"

"Each of you is a hero of the Republic!"

"It is precisely because of the hard work of thousands of scientific and technological workers that our country can develop so rapidly!"

"Here, I want to solemnly commend a comrade!"

"He is the chairman of this National Science and Technology Workers Conference, Comrade Zhang Zhipeng!"

"Comrade Zhang Zhipeng is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles. He uses his intelligence and wisdom to help the country achieve great success in the field of chip technology first!"

"He broke through the chip manufacturing process to the nanometer level in a very short period of time!"

"He has cultivated a large number of outstanding chip research talents, constantly made innovations and breakthroughs, and created a whole chip industry chain in our country!"

"The successful breakthrough of chips has also brought rapid development to all walks of life and the military industry in our country!"

"Comrade Zhipeng said that chips are the foundation of modern technology. If the chip industry is not in our own hands, it will definitely be stuck in the future."

"He's right!"

"It was the breakthrough of chips that allowed us to suddenly emerge in the field of electronic computers, and we created the world's leading computer industry!"

"Comrade Zhipeng's achievements are not only in the field of chip technology, he is also a pioneer in the field of computer software. It is under his leadership that our country has its own operating system..."

The leader talked about Zhang Zhipeng’s achievements in the field of scientific research.

Finally, he said: "Comrades, the reason why we can achieve the miracle of economic development is actually precisely because we have made breakthroughs one after another in the field of science and technology!"

“Without technological breakthroughs, there will be no economic take-off!”

"If we cannot lead in technology, we will not be able to make rapid progress in electronic computers, industrial machines, automobiles, home appliances, shipbuilding, aerospace and other fields."

"Almost all the scientific and technological breakthroughs we have made in the past eight years were brought to us by Comrade Zhang Zhipeng."

"So, what I want to say is that Comrade Zhang Zhipeng is the biggest contributor to our brilliant achievements today!"

"Let us pay our greatest tribute to him with warm applause!"

The conference hall immediately burst into warm applause.

The applause was so enthusiastic that it was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.

Someone was shouting loudly: "Thank you Comrade Zhipeng!"

"Yes! All of us should be grateful to Comrade Zhipeng for his contribution to our country."

Everyone is praising Zhang Zhipeng's contribution.

Zhang Zhipeng sat aside and felt a little embarrassed.

This is the National Science and Technology Workers Conference, so you can’t hold it as your own personal commendation meeting, right?

The leader's speech lasted for more than an hour.

He finally wished this National Science and Technology Workers Conference a complete success!
The leader finished his speech and was about to leave the scene because he had other important matters.

Everyone at the scene stood up to say goodbye.

After seeing the leader off, Zhang Zhipeng continued to smile and said: "Comrades, the leader's speech is inspiring."

"We have indeed made some achievements in the past period of time."

"But, what I want to say is: we must not be complacent!"

"It should be noted that scientific research is like the first step, and it is very difficult to make further progress!"

"Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind!"

"We have to keep working hard and keep moving forward to stay ahead."

"We must learn lessons from Western countries!"

"Why does the West, which has advanced technology over the past two to three hundred years, seem to be experiencing slower and slower technological development?"

"This is mainly because they have lost their gumption!"

"They are trying to maximize profits while minimizing costs by relying on the technological accumulation at hand!"

"It is precisely because of this mentality that they no longer invest heavily in the research of many new technologies."

“A lot of their tech products are starting to squeeze out toothpaste!”

"They are trying to use PUA to maintain their status as a technological hegemon."

"But how is this possible?"

"In today's era, the speed of technology development is really too fast. It is very likely that technology will develop rapidly in two to three years or even one or two years! If you don't make progress, even giant companies may not be able to survive. In a few years, they will be eliminated.”

"This is a very cruel thing."

"The main purpose of our conference today is to unify our thinking and make long-term plans for scientific research development!"

"Under the guidance of a scientific and complete development plan, we must climb to a better technological peak step by step!"

"So, the most important task of this conference is to formulate our own century-old scientific research and development plan!"

"For the rest of today, we will conduct group discussions and hold discussions according to different scientific research fields!"

“I hope all fields can sort out their scientific research planning and development blueprints for the next hundred years!”

"What we do today can be said to be a success for the present and for the future!"

Next, discussions began in each scientific subdivision.

Zhang Zhipeng and a group of scientific research meritorious officials participated in scientific research planning symposiums in various fields.

Zhang Zhipeng participated in a forum in the IT field.

This IT field can be regarded as a huge field in China.

Because this field actually has an empowering effect on all walks of life.

IT's development plan can also be said to be a top priority.

After Zhang Zhipeng arrived at the branch venue, he saw many acquaintances.

Ren Zhengfei, Qiu Bojun, Ma Huateng, and Rebus are all here.

Even Liu Chuanzhi attended the meeting as a representative of the Institute of Computer Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Liu Chuanzhi's idea is still persisting today. They have now obtained some chip technology, but in general it is not advanced enough.

They are unable to research their own CPUs, so they can only purchase some Loongson chips for assembly.

It is said that they are working on their own CPU. However, this is really difficult. They have been working on it for a long time without making any good progress.

And if they rely on assembly machines, they can only appear in the form of mid- to low-end.

Fortunately, in order to encourage competition, the state actually provides them with various incentives and subsidies.

I think I can still live for now.

However, the scale is much smaller.

In the previous life, in 1998, a certain idea had already reached the number one spot in the country.

The power of trade and industry skills is sometimes good.

Relying on cost-effectiveness and low-price strategies, as well as state support, they were indeed able to quickly seize the market.

But now, this opportunity no longer exists.

When Liu Chuanzhi saw Zhang Zhipeng, his heart was actually quite complicated.

Because Zhang Zhipeng is now a top boss that he cannot match.

Zhang Zhipeng arrived at the branch venue in the IT field, and the scene immediately became lively.

People greeted Zhang Zhipeng one after another.

After Zhang Zhipeng arrived, he naturally started the discussion immediately.

A symposium is to set a topic and then everyone expresses their opinions.

How the IT field will develop in the future is something that people are very concerned about.

Big guys in the IT industry discussed chips, software, etc.

The discussion was quite lively.

When it was Liu Chuanzhi's turn to speak, he glanced at Zhang Zhipeng with a smile and said, "Dear Comrade Zhipeng, colleagues, the views I want to express may be different from yours."

"What I want to say is that Huaxing Group is really too powerful now."

"As the saying goes, a flower blooming is not spring!"

"The garden is full of flowers blooming in spring."

"Huaxing is the only one with no competitors. This will bring huge hidden dangers to the development of the industry."

"Huaxing is likely to lose the motivation to develop new products and technologies."

"Since Comrade Zhipeng is united and hopes that the entire industry can develop better, I think we should show some integrity. You should share chip and CPU technology, and you should help other domestic companies to develop their own. CPU and chip technology help other brother companies write their own operating systems and help promote them.”

"Only by doing this can we increase the intensity of competition and stimulate the rapid development of the entire industry."

"I wonder if Comrade Zhipeng will agree with my point of view?"

This is almost equivalent to Liu Chuanzhi directly defeating Zhang Zhipeng's army.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said, "I don't agree with Comrade Chuan Zhi's views."

"Huaxing currently does not control the entire industry chain in the IT field."

"The CPU is mainly in Loongson."

"And Huaxing is also developing its own CPU."

"Loongson is considered a state-owned enterprise. It treats all purchasing companies equally and does not give Huaxing any special care."

"The company that controls the operating system and other important domestic software is Kingsoft Technology."

"You don't think we still control Kingsoft Technology now, do you?"

"In fact, Kingsoft Technology is now an independent company led by the state. Of course, I myself also hold shares in Kingsoft Technology."

"What I want to say is that for the sake of user convenience, our operating system also needs to be unified, rather than multiple."

"As for the worries you mentioned, I don't think they actually exist."

"Because, first of all, we are not profit-seeking capitalists. We are entrepreneurs, we are social citizens! We are working hard to develop ourselves for the benefit of the country."

"Therefore, even if we at Huaxing have no competitors, we will continue to launch better technology products, and we will continue to update and iterate better technologies."

"For those who have the whole world in mind, our eyes are always looking at the stars and the sea in the distance, rather than the petty profits in front of us."

"I explain it this way. I wonder if Comrade Chuanzhi can understand it?"

Liu Chuanzhi rubbed his nose a little depressed.

His original intention was to unite Zhang Zhipeng with his army.

However, their response cannot be described as unjust and harsh.

"Thank you, Comrade Zhipeng, for clarifying my doubts. I understand." Liu Chuanzhi sighed and said, "However, I would like to know, what is your future development plan for the IT industry?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "There is actually only one word for the future development of the IT field: intelligence!"

"We want to make our products smarter! Give users a better interactive experience."

“From computers, tablets, mobile phones, watches, etc., all electronic products within sight can be made smart.”

"As far as I know, Western countries have been researching and developing smart products for decades."

"They are now investing heavily in the hope of overtaking us in corners and producing more powerful smart products."

"Therefore, our research in the IT field must start from the basic point of intelligence and strive to create more advanced products with better experience."

"This requires us to work on both software and hardware at the same time."

"If I say this, can Comrade Chuanzhi understand?"

Liu Chuanzhi seemed to understand.

Although he is engaged in computer research, in the final analysis, he is actually very average in his profession.

After more than twenty years of scientific research, there is not even a decent result.

"Oh! You, you seem to be absolutely right." Liu Chuanzhi murmured.

Next, Ren Zhengfei introduced a plan for technological development in the field of mobile communications.

Ren Zhengfei smiled and said: "I am very grateful to Comrade Zhipeng."

"Because a few years ago, we didn't know anything about mobile communications at all."

"At that time, we were doing digital switches."

"Our digital switches were doing very well at that time. Our annual sales have reached more than RMB 8 million."

"Everyone, the success of our digital switches is mainly due to the successful research and development of related chips."

"And the chips we developed were actually developed for us by the Loongson Company led by Comrade Zhipeng!"

"We were able to make mobile communications prosperous mainly because of Comrade Zhipeng's selfless help."

"He handed over 2G mobile communication equipment and mobile phone technology to us."

“And he gave us a lot of technical help.”

"It is precisely because of this that we have become a giant company in mobile communications in just one or two years."

"Currently, we are increasing the speed of research, and we are ready to develop a faster 3G mobile network as soon as possible."

"In the 2G network era, we are actually not the leader."

"But, for 3G, we must get all the major patents into the hands of the Chinese people!"

"Not only 3G, we will also recruit more outstanding scientific researchers to study more advanced and faster mobile communication technologies!"

"I personally believe that intelligent mobile communications are the future of this world."

After Ren Zhengfei finished speaking, Zhang Zhipeng took the lead in applauding.

He smiled and said: "Comrade Zhengfei said it very well."

"I still admire Comrade Ren Zhengfei very much."

"He is the kind of person who doesn't have much desire for self-interest and cares about his family, country and the world."

"Warwick's annual revenue has now reached nearly 2 billion yuan, but this company's research and development expenses have reached 200 billion per year!"

"Ten percent of the revenue is used for research."

"This is the main reason why Warwick has been able to grow so fast."

"Everyone, Warwick Company was built by Comrade Ren Zhengfei!"

"Basically a completely private company."

"But what did Comrade Zhengfei do?"

"He currently doesn't even have 10% of the shares in his personal hands!"

"He gave the vast majority of the company's shares to the company's labor union and distributed them to key employees."

"The spirit is touching."

"Everyone, please give Comrade Zhengfei a round of applause."

The conference room immediately burst into warm applause.

Many people find it incredible.

It's obviously your own company, why do you want to give away all the shares?
Isn’t it nice to have money in your own hands?
But Ren Zhengfei believes that he does not need too much money to satisfy his selfish desires!
As a company grows bigger, it must fulfill its social responsibilities and contribute more to national development.

Ren Zhengfei smiled and waved his hands and said, "I just did what I could."

"Don't pay too much attention to this."

"We should pay more attention to the development of communications technology in our country."

"Actually, Comrade Zhipeng has already done what I am doing now."

"For example, Comrade Zhipeng has incubated at least three Fortune 3 companies."

"For another example, in the company headed by Comrade Zhipeng, the salary of scientific researchers is comparable to or even higher than that of people in the same position in Western countries."

"Today, the company headed by Comrade Zhipeng employs more than 200,000 scientific researchers."

"He helped our country build a huge and highly efficient scientific research system."

"We have to pay tribute to him."

The warmest applause broke out again in the venue.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and waved his hands and said: "Comrades, why do I feel that this meeting has become a meeting of mutual praise. Haha!"

"I still say what I said, everything is for the development of the country!"

"We must continue to invest heavily in scientific research!"

“Only if you are willing to invest can you get rewards!”

"Well! Next, let's get to the point. Let's analyze and study all the breakthrough development trends in the IT field in the future, and make plans to make better and continuous progress!"

……

Zhang Zhipeng actually later participated in symposiums in many other fields.

This symposium lasted until around 11 o'clock that night, and the results of the discussion were still very fruitful.
